Pros
When I applied 7 years ago, it was as a user of the product. Building a large scale CMS on top of MongoDB was one of the best development experiences I ever had. When the time came to choose what to do next in my life, coming to work for MongoDB was a no brainer. The product proposition and opportunity was clear and it's easy to be proud of how far we have come since starting my career here. The culture is one of the strongest I've seen in my career. People are passionate about the products and about their peers. The company has genuine empathy for their employees and make great efforts to be transparent. The work is challenging and rewarding. There are lots of growth opportunities and the market is very much demanding MongoDB as a product now and into the future.
Kontras
While there is a lot of effort to handle the remote world as a result of the pandemic, more needs to be done. The tools are there for the teams to be successful. Being remote or even outside of the primary offices does require extra effort to drive success and the individuals need to be passionate. Some of the opportunities for remote employees are restricted when compared to similarly qualified individuals in office.
